Wasn't sure where to post this. It starts off very dark purple and opens to a very dark purple/pink flower. Salvia Love & Wishes

Another few purple from me in the home garden.
Although the flower is more white/pink, I love the purple centre of Paradise Queen as it starts to fully open
Warsaw Nike
The bees have been adoring the Nectarscordum. You may just spot them!

Thank you for the nom Rosefriend,. It's not the greatest looking plant, but I love the flowers. I should probably prune it at some point, but I'm not that confident with clems to be honest.

Clematis Palette is flowering for the first time this year. Warsaw Nike has been really good this year.

fab Jasmine, I only got the Thunbergias this year, was counting on the Rhodichiton coming back from the previous year (which it didn't )

Post by Jasmine on Oct 31, 2016 18:11:29 GMT
Thanks for the nom Jilly, funnily enough - or annoyingly enough - the thunbergias have flourished and the rhodichiton hasn't done so well at all. I seem to have 5 thunbergias and 2 rhodichiton. I love the varying colours of the thunbergia although this photo doesn't show the amazing range of colours at all! Still, it's a pretty combo!

They've been brilliant on the new fence Jasmine, I grew them with Mina Lobata in the end. Incidentally your pic is exactly the same one as the November one on the SR calendar, think your's is better though

I agree, it's such a lovely little plant Jasmine,.

I noticed that Jilly when I turned over the calendar this morning - think SR may just have a slight edge on autumn atmosphere - there's a sort of low sun about her picture! Thanks for the nom Ladygardener, I know from past years that this combo will go on and on til the frosts get bad - it is very cheery!

Thanks for the nom Tig - I think mine could have done with all day sunshine rather than just afternoon sunshine - they took an age to get going.
